Shorelines that shine

White, squeaky sand. Crystal-clear water. It’s no secret that the beaches of Destin-Fort Walton Beach are some of the most beautiful in the world. And with 24-miles of shoreline and numerous public beach access points, there’s endless ways to enjoy our picture-perfect beaches. Before jumping in the Gulf, please review our beach flag and safety information and always remember to leave nothing but your footprints in the sand when you head home.

Our beaches are perfectly positioned on the Gulf for watching the sunrise and sunset over the water.
